Being the Editor in Chief here means more than power lunches. (I’ve never been into that sort of thing, anyway, although I did see Barbara Walters and her posse at one a couple of years ago.) It means that once production ramps up and the stories that our other editors have massaged into shape come through the pipeline, I get to read them. Part of it is quality control—when a few people read the same thing, they often pick up on the odd awkward phrase, or spot a typo that the line editor, who’s read the piece a zillion times, doesn’t see.
Sometimes though, the other readers offer more substantive suggestions, such as bringing up a buried “lede” (the first sentence that sets the tone for the article) or fixing leaps of logic that aren’t supported by the quotes.
